Jane Rowland: African Wax Print: A Textile Journey

Very exciting news for Out Of The Fold member Jane Rowland!
Jane has two beautiful pieces featured in the newly published book: African Wax Print: A Textile Journey by Magie Relph and Robert Irwin. You can see a description of the book here: African Fabric Store

One of Jane's pieces is a beautiful bed quilt using African wax batik fabric, the other piece is a stunning door hanging. The door hanging is made from a huge amount of individual crafted fabric beads very cleverly stringed to create a map of Africa. Unfortunately I don't have any photos to share with you at the present.
A huge congratulations to Jane! Well done!
